Story
Movement beneath the upholstery
Repos conceals its synchronised mechanism inside the upholstered backrest. Vitra says it adjusts to the sitter's weight and supports the back through the reclining range, with a locking device for the chosen position.
Repos & Grand Repos
Vitra groups Repos with Grand Repos and a matching ottoman. The shared family facts are recorded here as the representative article: removable covers, two seat heights and manually adjustable backrest resistance.
